This research work examines the chemical composition of Garlic cultivated in Sokoto Northwestern Nigeria using AAS analysis. It contains P, Mn and Cu (0.013) (0.0024) and (0.0012) respectively. This made Garlic a very valuable source of minerals. The results obtained indicates that garlic is rich in Calcium which is an essential mineral required for bone and teeth development, and also in the regulation of nervous excitability. The oil extracted from garlic bulbs was also characterized. The garlic bulb was discovered to have a high percentage of oil and unsaturated fatty acid (8.40%). The iodine value of the oil was also high (126.9 + 0.1), the saponification value was 192 + 0.1, which indicate that the oil can be used as food and the acid value was 41.7 + 0.1 which shows that the oil is good for human consumption.

Chemical analysis of locally cultivated garlic and itâs oil

The adding garlimmune in broiler breeder drinking water were tested experimentally for evaluation of its effect on egg production, external and internal traits of egg and hatchability at the different time of laying(T1: 8:30 AM, T2: 10:30 AM, T3: 1:30 PM and T4: 8:30 AM1:30 PM). The results indicated that the use of garlimmune had a good effect on egg production (HD %), egg weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), eggshell thickness (mm), eggshell weight (g) and eggshell strength (kg/cm), total protein, PUFA, HDL in egg, hatchability and set eggs (%), hatched chicks weight (g) and post hatch antibody titer against ND, IBD and IB by ELISA. However, MUFA, LDL, atherogenic index, hatch window (h), embryonic mortality (1-21day) and culled chicks were significantly (p≤0.05) decreased in garlimmune treatment compared with the control at different laying time, but there is on-significant difference in total lipid among the treatments. Noticed the time laying 10:30 AM in the both groups was more effectiveness in all parameters of the study.
